  1. If any of you have ever been on protector server you might know KLACK. He was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago and has beaten it several times. The drs this time said he can't. They have given him 1-2 month to live. We are trying to remain optmistic in hopes they ill find something else to try. Show him some hero support and click the send a hero heroic get wells link on the titan forums. Thanks.

    Above is the link to the titan forums which has dads main character KLACK, a pic of him and his address if anyone wants to send him a card. I know he would love it because this game is more than just a game, it's a home and the players are family.
  2. "We've exhausted all options including the selling of the studio and the rights to the City of Heroes intellectual property, but in the end, efforts to do so were not successful."

    I'm sorry but i call BS on this. Thats a lie. If they wanted to sell it they could have. The only reason i can see that they actually couldn't is if they wanted way more then anyone had or they don't own the rights and whoever does won't sell. So which is it and how do we get more money together to buy it?

    I'm done if they don't sell, they are dead to me. I'll NEVER touch another one of their games and i do play other games.

    I have no clue what you mean...the black was a mistake, i didn't pick black it just made it that way. I fixed it now, i was leaving out to work so sorry i didn't notice the color.

    Seriously though, what does that even mean?

    Oh sorry, i don't know why it made it black...i didn't pick that or anything.
  5. The gaming market in a nut shell

    Bob! Look at these new graphics! -sam


    OMG that’s amazing! -bob


    Hey, we need to do that if we want to make money so get on it -sam


    *bob and his development team work for several months making new concepts to showcase pretty graphics but bring something new to the table*


    What’s taking you guys so long, we need to get a move on -sam


    Hey, we're doing the best we can here. You want something innovative right? -bob


    No, i want graphics and i want it done fast! Just redesign something old, or rework that WoW game! You guys are costing me money! Be more productive! We don't want new. People want pretty! They don't want something new, it'll just confuse them. -sam


    *facepalm -bob


    This isn't meant to offend anyone, just a thought so please there is no need to attack. I've just noticed this with the gaming industry. Not just MMO's either. Not just games as a matter of fact. I mean resident evil 3D was crap! It was insulting. It was crap wrapped in a pretty 3d package. Now mind you graphics are what get most people when they first look so it can’t look like garbage but come on, we want different. CoX was successful because it's not the same thing like most of the other games. With a little advertising it could have been way more successful.

    How does this pertain to the subject? Seems NCSOft just cuts games that are innovative everytime new graphics comes out. I mean look at GW2, again not meant to offend. It has stunning visuals and yes it is a little dfferent. They have made improvements on its genre but come on. Same crap different game pretty graphics. So logically instead of advertising for the odd game out they drop it instead. I'm not even attacking NC, thats just how they do business, they are forign, guess thats what their market likes. Same old same old better graphics. I really hope Paragon can get the game and become their own company. They have all the good ideas. I'm so bored of armor swapping fantasy. Letting Paragon have it would really redeem NC's name. They really have tarnished their reputation over the years cutting games like this. It makes people in the USA fearful to invest in any of their games. It would help so much if they would reverse their decision or let Paragon have it.

    Sorry folks.

    If you look closely it was actually GW1 that made the least amount of sales but for some reason they are continuing it and not CoH. I think they should close GW1 since they have 2 now and consolidate servers for CoH to save money. Not close the game. Maybe go back to subscriptions if that helps. I know my dad and i never quit paying our subscriptions even after F2P. We liked having all the content at our disposal.
  7. *At random* "At least i'm doing something!"

    lol

    Oh wait i forgot to flail...
  8. Anyone buying it is better then it going away forever. Hope is SOE gets it that doesn't happen anyway.

    I agree, i would love to see them purchase paragon studios and the game so that the devs can keep their jobs. It wouldnt be the same without them.
  10. The boycott stuff was actually started by other people on FB and in game, not me. I just postd it there. It might actually work though. Light a fire under their ***. It is true if they close 1 game they'll do the same to others.

    this is the save the game thread. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6470987717
  11. Let blizzard know how you feel. Maybe they can pick up the game.

    http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/5386232/

    Customer service told me this is our best bet to get blizzard to do this. You all know they have the money.
  12. I would donate to this and pay the usual subscription price because i do that now anyway. If you can get a quote and your company can do this the community will help.

    Even that would be better then what it is now. Maybe upgrade it later but give us that for now.

    I'm not sure I could find this covered necessarily, but I noticed when dealing with the Barbarian 'shorts', with the options being Skin or Tights, I noticed in the Tights section there was no accepting of any patterns other than a color, and with Skin, you couldn't take a particular texture, such as Bioluminescence for example. This essentially means you just have colored legs or well...skin.

    This goes against what you can do with Kilts and Shorts which can retain patterns and textures, which makes me wonder if the Barbarian 'shorts' shouldn't be moved into that category and have those options applied? I'm sure I can't be the first person to have noticed this. Which leads to one other thing....

    When using Kilts, Skirts and Shorts, the scaling on the legs changes to much thinner than if using Tights, for example. Is this just to accomodate the pieces in question? It's a noticeable change on Huge characters, for example. I tried this on one character and his massive upper body didn't look like it was going to be supported by his spindly thighs....



    S.
    I mentioned the barbarian thing too. I also posted it on freedom friday. It would be nice to have patterns unlocked for that. It's not even hard to do. They can copy paste code or or whatever if they left that out of the coding for that part..
  15. can we get a new mastermind pool with a dumbed down version of the costume creator for our minions?

    If the OP doesn't want to do that then at least request the mods move this to the suggestion section where it at least has a chance of getting read by a dev.

    thanks, now where do i post power pool suggestions?
  17. Also, i would like the option to use leg patterns with the barbian bottoms. You can only make solid colors at the moment.

    So were there any plans to finish the bird costume pieces? We got a couple of heads, thanks. A few beaks, nice. We already had wings, thanks. Talons, check. But...

    ...feathered tails?
    ...feathered chest?
    ...feathered pants? (bonus points if they blend with the talon Monstrous legs)
    ...feathered arms?
    ...some kind of talony-glove that blended with the feathered arm?

    Also "nice to have" (but not strictly necessary, though would bring birds up to par with cats):

    ...bird texture patterns (i.e. like the Cheetah and Jaguar spot patterms, only pick a few bird patterns). For the record I could argue wolves and bovines need their own texture patterns too.
    ...wing color variants: instead of strictly the "edge color" and "trailing" color we have now, add a couple other variants from the bird world

    Also nice, wing emotes:

    --/em wingdisplay -- wings open out straight and up at 45° angle and hold

    --/em wingspread -- similar to wingdisplay only out at a 90° angle (wing edge parallel to ground)

    --/em wingflap -- some variant of the "few flaps before landing" animation, just one that we can trigger while on the ground. Imagine how annoyed birds sit there and flap their wings a few times.

    --/em wingpoint -- some kind of "pointing at you" with the arm AND wing pointing

    --/em wingthreaten -- I can visualize in my head but hard to desribe, but it would be like /em angry only incorporate the wings

    Just seems to me there are alot of emotes that would be fun to have a "winged" variant...right now the wings are kinda passive outside flying and jumping. Not complaining, the wings and all their various animations are VERY cool. I still marvel at them all these years later.

    Still, wolves, cats, and bulls got their Monstrous Fur and Animal Fur, and a number of tails and animated tails. The avians seems to have gotten only half, or even less than half, their due.

    This can probly be split into 2 packs. Animal pack 2 and Reptiles and Amphibians pack. Would have to come up with just a few more things to make 2 packs out of it.
  21. Can we get:
    Bird tails?
    Patterns for male barbarian bottom with tights?
    Carnival of light male costume pieces?
    Thanks
  22. Can we get a grapple hook? itcan be a pool power.
    1) swing as aoe
    2) pull yourself forward on enemy to do a dash attack
    3) Pul self forward quickly as movement. Can spring out far to attach to anybuilding, wall, tree, etc and quickly pull you in that direction to that object.
    4) basic targeting attack for alot of damage and mabe pulls enemy to you.
  23. I will also be buying this one.....NOW RELEASE IT ALREADY!!! and issue 19 too!

    I just love more options for customization...this game just keeps getting better and better. There isn't a single other game with this many options,...i get so sick of games where all the characters running around look like carbon copies of eachother.
  24. can anyone tell me what the event salvage is for?
